Question

I am trying to setup a CRON job using PHP, but am not having any luck so far.

I am following this tutorial: PHP – Create a Cron Job with PHP (dead link)

I have created the script file with the correct permissions, but the script is not being processed.

Any ideas?

Little checklist:

1. Is your cron running -> u2ix [checked]
2. Permissions to use cron [checked]
3. Does your script run in the shell [checked i hope]
4. Run a litte script that shows you the environmet in your cron (-> env) / it is never the same as in your shell 🙂
5. after execute your php-creat-cronjob-script check with corntab -l the crontab

do you get mail from your cron ?
